Thailand Aggressor - Similan Islands
The Thailand Aggressor offers a pretty solid Similan Islands liveaboard experience, especially for divers looking to clock some serious bottom time and maybe level up their skills. We’ve seen them cater well to folks serious about instructor training, with plenty of space and time onboard to focus on those more advanced goals. You’ll be living on the dive site, which means early morning dives before the day boats arrive, often hitting spots like Richelieu Rock or Koh Bon when they’re quieter. If you appreciate the convenience of an all-inclusive setup and want to maximise your time in the water, this is a strong contender.
